Hi first post
Have stage 3 breast cancer. Have had 4 rounds of chemo and starting my second round on the 24th. Surgeon thought cancer hadn’t been shrunk enough. They’re changing chemo and I have to have a muga test before chemo. Mastectomy should be in mid to late January.’ Lymph nodes are also cancer. Radiation after

Please don’t tell me how brave I am
from Kevin MD It’s 3 a.m., and I’m wide awake. I’m giddy with excitement and scared. I am 41 years old and tomorrow feels like the first day of school all over again. Only it isn’t. Tomorrow is my first day back at the hospital where I work as a surgeon. Tomorrow is also my first day back at work

Decision: Should I Do Radiation?
I had my first visit with the radiation oncologist yesterday and he’s leaving it up to me to decide if I want to undergo radiation. He said that there’s no data to show that I would receive anything but a slight benefit, and the risks would be small, so it’s a toss-up (but of course he would recommend

Recurring breast cancer after double mastectomy
Has anyone had recurring breast cancer after a double mastectomy? I had 2 different cancers in both breasts. Right breast had more lymph nodes involved. I also had chemo. This was in 2002. I'm having chest pain on right side and frightened about recurring breast cancer in chest wall. Anyone have any

Mastectomy and latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction
Hi everyone, hope you are having a good day today, considering everything! On 18th September, I had a single left-side mastectomy and latissimus dorsal flap reconstruction, with a small implant inserted too. I am recovering well, and feel amazingly normal already, despite a pulling in my left arm,

Finished treatment and feeling worthless
Hello Ladies A couple of months ago I finished a rollercoaster year of treatment - full mastectomy, chemo, lymph node removal, radiotherapy - and I've just started tamoxifen (10 years).

You may need to make yourself a drink and get yourself comfortable... I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism Dec 13 and put on 75mg levothyroxine. Since then every blood test my TSH has been out of range and levothyroxine increased by 25mg till I got to 175mg in January 2017 when I was referred to endocrinologist
